Manipulating white boards in Dolphin 7

In today’s blog I’ll show you how to use the “White Board” module with your Dolphin 7 based site. Before we begin we need to install the “Whiteboard” module. A step by step guide on installing the Dolphin 7 base modules can be found here:

Once we have the module installed we can access it by clicking “Boards” on the main menu bar of the site. White boards in Dolphin 7 are created and modified from the user side of the website and not from the admin.

Getting to the white boards

To create a new board just click “new board” on the right column.

Adding a new board

Now enter a “board name” and click “create”. You can also enter a password is you want your board to be private.

Giving the board a name

Now you can draw or doddle all you want. As long as you are on your board other members can also enter the board and edit it (unless you used a password when it was created). There is a set of editing tools at the bottom of the board that are similar to MSPaint.

Editing the board

Done! Now you and your users can add as many boards as you need. These can be used for brain storming, business projects or just doodling.
